D Wade faints. But seriously, I'm interested in knowing how popular this is in the NBA. Whether it's for returning from injuries faster, or just having a competitive advantage, how many players use stuff like this?
I've never seen a 6'4" player play like he was well over 7ft tall like D. Wade for not just stretches of the game but the entire game....
What is almost every single player going to do... convenient timing on releasing the info too. This will affect quality play.
Haha the had to wait till lebron got off it before they test for it. Now no one can use it and play against him
Damn it, how is Capela going to ready for full time back up center minutes by next season now? Dude needs to bulk up and fast. He better do it now and bulk up for Saturday and the rest of the playoffs Lolol but seriously, if you had to bet money on who gets caught, who would it be? I think Wade / LeBron and any other high profile stars (if they did use HGHs) would escape punishment. My money is on Matt Boner haha
Don't need HGH anymore, TB-500 helps stimulate the actual healing agents directly, not even WADA can detect it yet (and the nba is about a decade behind WADA's drug policy) and has far less side effects.
Good for the NBA. It will be interesting to see who get's caught. What drives usage are three things, (1) I'm poor and I'm willing to take the fast track to big money, (2) everyone is doing it, and (3) lack of an education about health effects. In America, the kids who are ballin are generally poor, but it does not seem kids have yet realized this was a fast track to the nba in the way that the dominican players realized this for mlb early on. I don't think there is the "everbody" is doing it culture either. And finaly while there is a lack of education on the health effects, it just doesn't appear that a lot of players could be doing it anyway. Think a few will get caught. There is always someone. But I really do feel the nba is limited in this area as you just don't see extraordinary things out there athletically. There are a few and they've already been named in the thread. Doesn't mean they are. But that is how limited I think usage is.
